I was mystified, early on in the Liberation Struggle to find many of my mentors were more "radical" and involved in our struggle than their own children;

Today, in the year 2011 i am surprised to find that brothers (good & sincere) brothers and sisters do not see the value in doing what the so-called "Tea Party" crowd; now the Occupiers of Wall Street has the potential to cause: a crisis to "the system."

The two named Protest movements are willing to back the American government to the wall unless concessions are given to what they have said very loudly that they want (the Tea P. have demonstrated their willingness; the Wall Street Occupiers may or may not be willing to go that far, but the potential is there).

 From where i see, the Tea Party is the greatest threat to the U. S. that i have seen since the 1960's with the Black Panthers & etc. I understand why it would be so very objectionable to add to their weight the support of Black people could help in taking the country to the wall: their obvious racism would probably blind them to acceding to any of our substantive demands, like Reparations.

On the other hand, the Occupy Wall Street Protesters would be easier to us to high light and demand our core issues (like Reparations). So given the present circumstance that the National Black Community find itself in today, why are some of our folk who sound and act "militant" reluctant to weigh into an action that will bring our oppressors such grief....certainly none of us believe that U. S. government like to see demonstrations in this country like the ones they OBVIOUSLY enjoyed and probably helped to bring to a crisis in Libya, Egypt, Yenen etc.

After all is said and done, i don't see how any of us for one minute think the U.S. will be brought down as the Egyptian government was: the 1% will not allow it (they may allow them to be bloodied, as they have already done) but they will concede to some of their demands, even if they kill some of them. They are crazy but they'll NOT lose their power/money if they can give a little back; enough to stop the demonstrators.

Do we remember how they beat up on and actually killed too many to count of Black people during the 1960's, but in the end they gave up something to quell the revolt while sicking the dogs (Richard nixon, J. Ethel Hoover) on the really radical segment of our community.

I would be the last one to suggest that any of us get caught out there when white people offer white people something to get them to stop demanding more from 99% of people in this country...but it is actually time for Black people to wadge a better strategy to win our struggle........Marcus Garvey told us that a man will bluff you if you let him (paraphrase), but when you have justice on your side you don't really have to bluff, you just have to take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to you....and know when to hold them and when to fold them....

It is the year 2011 and Black people still aint free! But i am afraid, for the most part, we are trying to win our freedom employing the same strategies that was deployed over the past 500 years or so...meanwhile their tools of oppression are continually being updated...occupirs of wall street are using high tect stuff to assist them in what they are doing....ask yourself, how far are we from using the means that are available to them (and us too, perhaps to a more limited degree, but we don't have to give up any of our pure demands to go a certain distance under this energy....think about it 99% vs 1%.

 Who within the 99% are confused about where you are in those numbers? I actually like the pure thinking i hear coming from some of our Black leaders. Purity is for keeps....but if you don't think you can play a power hand and hold to purity...i guess i just don't get it and i admit it..................Khalifah

  • "To understand this, you have to go back to what [the] young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro — back during slavery. There was two kinds of slaves. There was the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes – they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good ’cause they ate his food — what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved their master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master’s house quicker than the master would. The house Negro, if the master said, “We got a good house here,” the house Negro would say, “Yeah, we got a good house here.” Whenever the master said “we,” he said “we.” That’s how you can tell a house Negro."  Malcolm X
     
    i hope we get a chance to sit down and talk face-to-face about our individual & collective negro mentality soon.

    Full Pardon for the Scott Sisters Campaign Committee’s

    The National Justice Conference and National Day of Justice


    Jackson, Mississippi

    April 2-4, 2012

    united states of america Department of justice Mission Statement:

    To enforce the law and defend the interests of the united states according to the law; to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all americans.

     

    Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed." As the oppressed in america, New Afrikans often question america about its laws; america’s perception of us as domestic threats to public safety; and its interpretation of fair and impartial administration of justice. New Afrikans constantly question america about its law enforcement practices of preemptive attacks against Black People in noncriminal situations; the excessive use of force; and the cruel & (un)usual punishment of New Afrikans in the "administration of justice" toward us.

     

    In an effort to take a hard and serious look at america’s interpretation of "fair and impartial administration of justice for all," the Full Pardon for the Scott Sisters Campaign Committee will host the National Justice Conference and National Day of Justice in Jackson, Miss., April 2-4, 2012. The National Justice Conference will commemorate the lost of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., murdered April 4, 1968, by challenging america to better understand and internalize Dr. King’s admonition, "Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love." In particular, the National Justice Conference and National Day of Justice will challenge america to correct the inequities of its "justice system."

     

    At the same time, the National Justice Conference and National Day of Justice will seek action steps from national Black Leaders and grassroots folks to help defend the rights of New Afrikans against the unfair and partial administration of justice within the american "justice system." It is the absolute intention of the Full Pardon for the Scott Sisters Campaign Committee and the conference hosting partners to institute Dr. King’s vision of "A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies..." as related to fair and impartial administration of justice for all. Any and everyone truly interested in helping to create a revolution of values in america is invited to participate in the National Justice Conference and National Day of Justice April 2-4, 2012 in Jackson, Miss. For full details call 601.353.4455 or email us at pardonthescottsisters at aol.com or afrikan_tbt at yahoo.com.

     

    Dr. King told us that "there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right." The National Justice Conference is one of those times. So, we look forward to seeing all men/women who truly understand that "the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy" in Jackson on April 2-4, 2012 for the National Justice Conference and National Day of Justice.

      Yes Brother Lukata,

      Mcolm's teaching on "House negro vs Field negro" speaks to certified house negroes, but we have a "seasoned" group of Black activist who appear not to understand the value in visiting pain/frustration/perplexity/confusion and many other things to the people who visit the same to Black people daily...as stated, we are not talking about helping "Occupier of Wall Street" to bring down America, or start a revolution, what they are doing is COMPLETELY legal. As you know Brother, it is extremely difficult in this day and time to get an traction in calling our people into any action to Demand anything...knowing that the Caucasian relentless work to stamp out all Black or white racialism has worked to get the generation of Black leaders into a "box" in their "system," is disconcerting to say the least..........but i predict that our Black youth will one day (soon i hope) figure it out and act accordingly...other lands used high technology to get the job against injustice done...where is the use of ours? ...........

    I salute and bow to all Mighty warrior Khalifah shared.

     

    Know that only those who are Free critical thinkers, lien holders of their own conscious, non conformist to evil concepts hear what you are sharing and ready to do that which is Divinely right.

    Most of our people from GED's to Phd's have been so profanely mentally damage to the point they may never return to their once original Divine right mind-set, that mind-set that is filled with raw and real Truth/Reality, the hearers and doers. When a people minds have been so badly damaged it is call Traumatic Brain Injuries and in that type of injury some are mentally and physically retarded and we can not expect any Divine actions from a people who are profanely mentally retarded and handicap.

    Cheikh Anta Diop African Origin of Civilization(Myth or Reality)

    The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality by Cheikh Anta Diop"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without its roots", said our "most valuable Black Man" of the early 20th century, Marcus Garvey {as far as I am concerned!}. If we don't wake up to face the artificial complexities of this fabricated world, to become ourselves, we will thenceforth remain a people just copying other people's identities, cultures and "knowledge" and will remain at war with and within ourselves. I personally wish to thank the author, Cheikh Anta Diop, for producing such brilliant and honest literature.

     

    There are a few young people true Black Afrikans working on a list of all those profane so called leaders/teachers among us, both (genders). They have given me a glimpse of all the profane so called leaders on that list and all I can say is. Wow, as to who all are on that list. They call this list which is turning out to a small book with the profane leaders/teachers on it, they are calling the list, The WICKED LEAKS, leaking and exposing the real Black Afrikan both (genders) enemies among us calling themselves so called leaders/teachers. I can hardly wait for this list to hit the Internet.

     

    Once they complete this list they will post it over the entire Interne t for the world to see who those profane so called leaders/teachers among the Black Afrikan people who are holding up our people DIVINE SOLUTIONS.

     

    If we are not in these now times 24/7 Chanting REPARATIONS NOW (globally) we have made a pact with Lucifer, Satan, Devil (all one) Mind-set.

     

    If we are not in these now times 24/7 Chanting REPARATIONS NOW (globally) we are exactly what Hon. Garvey said about the DO Nothing among us, and that is we are Imbeciles.

     

     

    REPARATIONS NOW

      I read you very well Sister.

            First of all i hope i am not on the list (smiling, but serious). After all at this point in my Eldership i am acutely aware of my own contradictions (i have said many times over that "anyone who is not working from the "bush" is living in contradiction...having said that, those of us who don't have the skill set to take the fight to the enemy should be able to account for our lives in meaningful ways.....that ARE USEFUL for the complete freedom necessities of Black people
